CMS Made Simple Forums

hello,

Im updating an old website with a cms site, theres already a mysql database installed and wont let me add a new one so i've added a new user to it, with all the permissions. The problem i've got, is that when attempting to install CMS at the point of database information I get the warning

Could not connect to the database. Verify that username and password are correct, and that the user has access to the given database.

I have obviously checked the username and password and that they have the right access but its still not working,

any help would be great!

Cheers

Mike

Have you tried using the original db user/password?

@ chechogr

Depends on what you did.

I think you should contact your host.

It must be hard to get any work done with someone on top of you.

I think your original FTP of the software didn't work very well. You should re-upload the whole package.

I have now solved this problem, contacted the host and they deleted the original database so i could create a new one myself, which worked fine!
